和: A Spirit of Unity

My mom works in a tourism agency, and thanks to that I've traveled a lot. Maybe my best holiday was in July 2015. I'm a scout, and each 4 years, we have like a global camp, called Jamboree where scouts from all the world meet in a certain place. That year was in Kirara-hama, Yamaguchi, Japan. But we arrived Japan some days earlier to know the place.

We went to Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Ube and while we were at the jamboree we visited Hiroshima. The travel lasted 2-3 weeks. We were divided in patrols of ten plus our leader, so we were eleven. We did a lot of things. Visiting the cities, we went to most known places and temples (we didn't had much time) like the Shibuya Crossing, Tokyo Tower, and other places that I don't remember right now.

In the Jamboree, each day we had a different theme. We learned about scientific advances and about caring about our camp place. One day we went to the Peace museum in Hiroshima(very shocking place). We had a water games day, a day to know the other cultures (we had to make a display about our country, so we did some Sopaipillas with Pebre to give to the people from other countries and we danced El Costillar es mio. We even went to a primary school where the kids received us and make an act. They had an Orchestra group and played some wonderful songs (it's no joke that japanese can do everything better) and we visited a cave which name I can't recall, but it was beautiful. There were also 2 concerts, one at the beginning and the other at the end of the Jamboree. The first time there was a group called Dadadadan Tenko and a boring singer after, and the second was a famous japenese singer.

It think it has been my best holidays because we get to know many people from other countries and it was fun, for exaple that time while we were traveling in a highspeed train, we got to know a polish named Paveł and talked about how was his country or while we were walking to a ceremony, we enjoyed singing with some omani people. The only bad thing about the trip, is the time we spend on air. It was horrible.
